Last Wednesday, SuicideGirls hit the black carpet for Revolver Magazine’s third annual Golden Gods awards bash, which was held at the Nokia Theatre in DTLA. Amongst the honorees at the event, which celebrates all things hard ‘n’ heavy, were Mötley Crüe, who received The Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement Award.
The bad boy rockers are embarking on a major tour this summer, and were scheduled to start rehearsals the next day. To keep things fresh, the band have asked their followers to help pick their set list. Fans are asked to go online and pick15 songs that they wanna hear live from a total of 89 listed titles.
We caught up with Crüe frontman Vince Neil, who won our award for Best Dressed Man of the Night, to find out how the survey is working out.

“It’s likely that zombies don’t eat brains.”
– Matt Mogk of the Zombie Research Society
May is Zombie Awareness Month. To mark it, and help you, dear reader, prepare for what many think is an inevitable and impending invasion, we organized a round table discussion (by phone) with one of the world’s leading zombie experts, Matt Mogk, the Founder & Head Researcher of the Zombie Research Society, and one of the world’s leading zombie enthusiasts, Scott Ian, of the heavy metal band Anthrax and the supergroup The Damned Things. Are you prepared for the apocalypse?

“You can protest all day, but you gotta go drinking at night.”
– Al Jourgensen
Al Jourgensen has just released the last chapter in the annals of his nearly three decade-long career as the self-professed maniac behind industrial godfathers Ministry. It’s appropriately titled The Last Sucker and also serves as the final piece in Ministrys trilogy of albums attacking the Bush Administration and the United States current political system. Al is also throwing one last party, in the shape of a world tour and a party album of covers, before he splits to allow fans a chance to say goodbye and dance with him on Ministry’s grave.

“I’m really able to tell a story and make emotion come to life.”
– Debbie Harry
Before punk and new wave erupted in New York City in the late ’70s, female pop singers were like carefully crafted charms dangled from a bracelet; they were chanteuses whose sexuality was packaged as the ultimate pop commodity. When the tokenism of ’60s rock finally gave way to the rebel yell of late ’70s and early ’80s punk, female singers pushed a brazen, me-first attitude and redefined tough-girl with a heart of gold, or in Debbie Harry’s case, the romantic she is, a heart of glass. And though some said she was too beautiful for punk, Debbie Harry was more than just somebodys darling.

“I can play every instrument but, like, really shitty.”
– Seth Bogart
Hunx and His Punx are a Bay Area punk band fronted by Arizona transplant and sometime hairdresser Seth Bogart, a.k.a. Hunx, that have a Ramones-like musical philosophy: take ‘60s Phil Spector-ish girl group music and simplify and speed it up. Their songs are mostly direct odes to love and sex, sung in Hunx’ distinctly nasal delivery, supported by the lovely harmonies of his all-female backing group. Having just released their first full-length album, Too Young To Be In Love, and played a solid week at SXSW, Hunx and his punkettes are now embarking on a nationwide tour — so I was lucky Seth found a few minutes to talk with SuicideGirls about why SXSW sucks, getting stoned, and French perverts.

Fellow Hello Kitty aficionado Dave Navarro, who won a Golden God for his tireless work upholding the rock & roll tradition of Bootie Calls.
While SuicideGirls is vehemently anti-red carpet, it’s 100% legitimate for us to cover the Golden Gods’ black one. The third installment of Revolver Magazine’s annual celebration of all things hard ‘n’ heavy took place last night at the Nokia Theatre in DTLA. We were there with our camera at the ready…
